Getting your cat into the carrier alone can be a harrowing experience. For many it’s a necessary evil if they want to keep their feline friends healthy. But Banfield Pet Hospital is here to help with an inFURvention, so those regular vet trips can be less horrible and more happy.

For starters, here’s a great video demonstrating how to acclimate your kitty to her carrier so that it becomes more of a place of comfort rather than a place of fear. This is especially helpful in an emergency when you may not have time to wrestle kitty into a carrier.

Banfield is also offering a chance to win an in-home visit from pet expert Victoria Stilwell by submitting a video of you — either successfully or unsuccessfully — trying to get your cat into his or her carrier. Contest details can be found here.
